Is anyone using gnome 2.4?

I just upgraded my 5.1-release to gnome 2.4 and metacity is terribly 
broken. Other parts of gnome are also broken but using metacity 2.6.1 
makes gnome 2.4 unusable. I reverted back to metacity 2.4.55_1 to get a 
usable system.

Metacity 2.6.1 --

crashes when gimp starts up.

kills an application when any dialog window is closed by the window's 
close control.

most dialog windows open with 0 size. All I get is a very small window 
frame.

windows open in all kinds of crazy sizes. gnome-terminal windows can 
open very big, very small, tall and skinny, short and wide, or the right 
size.
